                    Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 quart(s) vegetable broth  |

                                                1 large (1 pound) russet potato  |  
                                                8 medium-large (1 1/2 pound) fresh carrots  |  
                                                1/4 small onion  |  
                                                1/2 cup(s) 2 percent or whole milk  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon(s) ground ginger  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg  |  
                                                1 teaspoon(s) garlic powder  |  
                                                salt and white pepper, to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In 4-quart or larger Dutch oven or soup pot, combine broth and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. While broth is heating, peel and cut the vegetables into bite-size pieces and add to the pot as you chop. When all vegetables are in the pot, reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 10 more minutes, or until largest vegetable pieces are tender. 2. Remove from heat. Stir in milk. Using a handheld immersion blender, process the soup until smooth. Stir in spices and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.                              |
